Wait..I'm watching the first episode and...


The woman who wakes up at the beginning looks about 30 IF THAT and the blonde girl looks about 17 or 18.. I thought they were sisters but then the girl calls her mom.. How is she the mom? She looks impossibly young to be the mom of that blonde. Was she like 11 or 12 when someone raped her?

She was supposed to be 15 when she got pregnant (by the man who went on to become her husband). Not rape just two teens having sex. In real life she's 13 years older than the actress who played her daughter.

and isn't the daughter only supposed to be about 15 or 16?

Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.

Beth was a teenage mother. IIRC she was like sixteen or something when she had Chloe. It's something which is referenced a couple of times in the series in a couple of different plotlines, mainly in relation to her and Marks marriage.

The mom and dad were 15 and 17 when the daughter was born and I think the daughter supposed to be 15 when the show starts.

Whatchoo Lookin' At??

I'm glad you posted about this because I just started watching and came here to figure out the exact same thing.
